Tested on a couple of items and I think the AI has a way to go. I tried numerous photos from different angles to test the app on a clear plastic berry container and it failed to identify it. It worked well for the obvious, a beer bottle. Proposed waste sites were almost all of the wrong local government authority MBRC, not BCC.

Thanks for sharing! Your images contribute to our ongoing improvement. Even if our AI falls short now on certain items, we work behind the scenes to reclassify these to help future users. Recyclemate doesn't isolate information to particular council areas, if we have supplied you incorrect information please let us know. help@recyclemate.com.au

Good idea but I asked about smoke detectors and it gave me 4 options that were huge distances from my home in inner South of Melbourne - suggested West, East and peninsula locations. When I enquired about ewaste it suggested northern suburbs! My local council, Port Phillip, runs a Resource Recovery Centre that takes most recyclables located 4kms for my home. So, app not working....

Worked ok immediately. Only wanted to verify my Council area, not my address. Option to type in name of items, without photo. Has barcode option (not ready yet tho). Gave options for disposal of stuff that can't go in the bin. I think the old review complaints (which made me wary to install at first) are now o.o.date.
